YES! "At Forsyth, I learned how to conquer my fears and never give up. I also learned to be a Forsythian, honest, kind and fair.” Imagine a school housed in century houses that feel like second homes. A Pre-K through sixth grade independent school located in the heart of St. Louis, one that nestles next to Washington University in St. Louis and Forest Park, one of the largest city parks in the country. Just steps away in the park, students regularly explore both the natural and cultural resources that the park boasts. Imagine a school that prides itself on academic challenge, born from a committed, high-quality faculty. Students rejoice in close student- teacher connections where they learn joyfully in small class sizes and home-like environments. Imagine a school where kids step outside their comfort zone to ascend to and walk a beam thirty-two feet above the ground, where kindergarten “Flying Squirrels” are hoisted up twenty-five feet on belay ropes to soar, where sixth graders embrace the challenge of mapping the world from memory as an ungraded project. Imagine a school where personal best counts, whether it’s the mile run in P.E. for Junior-K through sixth grade, a Shakespeare play, or a second grade engineering challenge in science. Imagine a school where kids learn that if they work hard, they can accomplish more than they thought possible. This is Forsyth. Are you in? For more info about Forsyth School www.forsythonline.com
